While the origin of the word is not disputed (literally meaning lid), the origin of tapas as the feast of many small dishes is highly debated. Some claim tapas came to be when a Spanish king was instructed by his physician to eat many small meals a day. Others claim tapas were simply small dishes placed on top of wine glasses to keep flies away. Regardless of exact origin, tapas is a wonderful element of Spanish life, and one equally as enjoyable when recreated at home.

Our assortment features essentials for a tapas feast. Included are 3 superb Spanish cheeses: Malagon with Rosemary, Mahon, and Murcia al Vino. For meat lovers: our wonderful spicy chorizo, and the essential, perfectly cured Serrano Ham. Next, the star of the sea: top quality Spanish tuna packed in olive oil. Also: Piquillo red peppers, Spanish Olives, Artichoke Hearts and quince paste, each one providing an array of tastes and textures. Dessert: Fig Cake and authentic Spanish Torte de Aceite. Finally: No tapas would be complete without that Andalusian specialty of oven roasted almonds dusted with sea salt.

Whether it's a sunny late afternoon or a cool evening, tapas is a wonderful way to sit back, enjoy some Spanish wines (or sherry), and feast on a myriad of flavors in the Spanish tradition.
Please note that any item temporarily out of stock will be substituted with a similar item of equal value.

When I purchased this product I was primarily interested in the cheeses, but when we enjoyed the spread for my mother's and sister's birthday party I was very surprised by the quality and flavor of some of the other items. The tuna was amazing! Who knew there could be such a difference in jarred tuna? And the almonds were lovely. The cheese was delicious as expected. We made a fig jam to serve along with the quince paste that was included. So good!

Works Well to Complement Recipies

Rather than eat the meats and cheeses as exclusively Spanish meals, I have used the Tapas assortment to add Spanish "zip" to many dinners that would otherwise have been ordinary. This assortment has been both delicious and versatile.

Quite good

Brought back memories of our trip last spring to Barcelona. Received it as a gift and it was a big hit at a holiday party. Really liked the "Rose Goat" cheese which was a mild creamy goat cheese with a rind coated with rosemary.
